ELLISVILLE – Hinds Community College women's tennis advanced to the semifinals of the 2022 Region 23 tournament with a 5-4 win over Co-Lin Thursday.
 
Going into singles, Hinds was down 1-2. Eni Anic (Croatia) sealed the deal in the deciding singles match by winning the tie-breaker, first to ten, match. 

Head coach Jackie Millet was proud of her team's fight.

"It was a dramatic match with Co-Lin from start to finish," said Millet. "We were down 1-2 after doubles. It was going to be tough to take four of the six singles matches. The Lady Eagles battled hard on all courts and tied it up at 4-4 with one court remaining, number one singles. Eni Anic from Croatia won the first set 6-4 but fell short in the second, 3-6. The entire match was resting on Eni's shoulders and a 10 point tiebreaker. She showed her mental toughness and pulled out the win at 12-10. Coach Wooten and I are proud of this team for their continued growth and maturity throughout this year. They were led by some awesome sophomores who should do well wherever they land next year."
